We're used to the idea of applications blocking when a resource they're 
using goes away - NFS has done it forever. 

Now, please tell me how many driver writers even thought that something
might try to access their devices after .suspend() had been executed (or
even whilie it was being executed)?

Every single driver that fails under those conditions is already broken, 
and has been forever. It's likely that they're broken under run-time 
suspend, too.
